Values

Focus on Customers

A company is nothing without its customers. At Polytype, we see our customers as partners with whom we can grow together. We listen to our customers’ needs, and do our utmost to find solutions that are as relevant as they are effective, in order to support them in their own development. As part of this approach, we are passionate about innovation and committed to operational excellence, the key guidelines of our strategic objectives. As a reliable and supportive player in the industry, we are proud to have trusted partners who know they can always count on us. In the field, our management, organization and work dynamics are based on the pillars of reliability and responsiveness as well as agility and flexibility.

Focus on people

Polytype’s human and social commitment is written into its DNA. Today, the company’s altruistic and benevolent roots and commitment persist, not least thanks to the fact that it is still governed by the non-profit foundation created by Ursula Wirz, the company’s former owner. While this axis has been central to the Group’s historical development, it continues to define the guidelines and policy to be followed in its future prospects. Driven by this attitude of respect and consideration for the people who bring the company to life, Polytype is proud to maintain this rewarding positioning for all its employees over the long term. We are convinced that this deeply rooted corporate culture ultimately contributes to a high level of motivation and passion among employees.

Commitment to innovation

Since its foundation over 60 years ago, Polytype has been driven by the idea of developing ground-breaking technologies to give the customers a competitive edge. Polytype has always been a pioneer in the development of new technologies, be it for the tube, cup or digital decoration market. We attach great importance to the continuous improvement of our machines and solutions for the benefit of our customers. We are convinced that permanent innovation forms the basis of our future success.

Ambition

Purpose

At Polytype, our purpose is to provide our partners with inspiring packaging printing and decoration solutions empowering the creation of outstanding packaging that arouse emotions to the consumers. In this sense, our main ambition is to maintain and develop our position as world leader, both in terms of innovation and positive impact for our partners.

Strategic targets

In strategic terms, our positioning is based on three major axes:
  • Strengthen our global market leadership as solution provider for direct-to-shape decoration of plastic containers and challenger for other substrates,
  • Improve the ecological sustainability of our infrastructure, machines, processes, services and packaging,
  • Remain an employer with a long-term focus with passionate, motivated and highly qualified employees.
